Lincoln Park was called Fauntleroy Park until 1922, when the city bought it. The popularity of the name Fauntleroy in this area springs from the passions of Lieutenant George Davidson, who was taking soundings off the bluff in 1857. Davidson had temporarily left his fiancée', Ellinor Fauntleroy, back in Illinois.

Be sure to bring some leftover bread for the Goose Crew that hangs out at the Fauntleroy Ferry! 2 domestic geese, a duck and some other kind of waterfowl that I can't identify.
